More than 50 community-minded friends of the environment descended upon Trail 1 at San Onofre State Beach to rid the area of garbage.

These volunteers are employees, friends and family of one of San Clemente's largest companies, DealerSocket Inc. a proprietary technology company specializing in customer relationship management software for automotive dealerships. DealerSocket employs more than 300 people.

"We are so fortunate to be able to base our company in beautiful San Clemente," said Jonathan Ord, DealerSocket co-founder and CEO. "I'm proud of this great company turnout to help keep San Clemente's incredible beaches picturesque."

The enthusiastic group picked up more than 190 pounds of trash, including plastic, Styrofoam, abandoned lobster cages, steel rods and wood pallets. According to Cryssie Brommer, state park interpreter, the previous record for a beach cleanup was 80 pounds. DealerSocket is excited to have set a new record.
